Overview

Poggitello is a traditional stone farmhouse nestled into a lovely hollow in the hills near Fabro. Terracotta floors and beamed ceilings set the tone for an interior decorated in a comfortable country style with a mixture of antiques and modern pieces. The bedrooms are all located on the ground floor, each with a modern ensuite bathroom. At the heart of the house is a stunning open plan living area with large windows overlooking the garden and swimming pool with a wonderful view of the wooded hills beyond. A dining loggia off this room offers a splendid spot for al fresco meals. A broad sweep of lawn is encircled by trees and leads to the large swimming pool. Fabro is an ideal base for sightseeing in three provinces - Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio.

Location

About 30 minutes north of Orvieto, on a quiet road that rises and falls through wooded valleys and vineyards. The nearest villages are Parrano, 3km/2 miles and Carnaiola, 4km/3 miles, each with a shop or restaurant. Good walking, mountain biking and horseback riding in the Monte Rufeno Reserve immediately to the south. Etruscan-founded hilltop Citta delle Pieve lies 40 minutes to the north. Orvieto, on its rocky crag, is a must-see for its spectacular striped Duomo and Etruscan tombs; on the slow road via Ficulle the substantial Antinori winery is worth a visit. Day trips might include Todi, Castiglione del Lago on Lake Trasimeno, or Montepulciano, all about 1 hour's drive.

Made very welcome by the owners, who showed us around the villa and had provided a welcome pack of essentials and a bottle of wine.

Very peaceful, great views, good location for touring Umbria and Tuscany, fabulous pool, great outdoor loggia for eating outside, honesty wine cellar! We were so relaxed that we couldn't tear ourselves away from the pool and the loggia - the best villa we have stayed in the last 15 years.

The very spacious loggia was wonderful. We spent most of our time there(other than when we were beside the pool!) There is a seating area for 4, which we used for pre-dinner drinks, and reading during the day and we ate all our meals at the large table in the loggia.The setting of the pool was also lovely, such an elegant and peaceful setting .

The views, the grounds, the gardens, the quality of furnishings. The property was very well equipped and the owners were extremely cordial and welcoming.

The peace and tranquility, the setting between two valleys within acres of trees, the mist below in the early morning as though the location was floating just above the clouds. Then their slow drift up past us as they dispersed.
